A! VIICHAEL VISITS
ALGIERS (UPI)-Black pow-
Ivocate Stokely Carmichael
lias been officially invited to
visit Algeria, the government
said Tuesday night.
Carmichael was expected to
arrive here Thursday as an
official guest of Algeria’s ruling
party, the announcement said.
WASHINGTON (UPI)- Mid-
dle class wage earners are
having more than twice as
much taken out of their pay
checks for Social Security this
year as in 1959.
For Americans making $6,600
or more in 1967, $290.40 will be
withheld and placed, along with
an equal amount paid by
employers, in Social Security
trust funds for present and
future benefit payments.
Compare that with the
maximum $120 paid in 1959, or
even to the maximum $174
withheld in 1965.
If the Senate passes the
House-approved version of the
administration's Social Security
package, the amount withheld
will take another sharp jump
for persons earning $7,600 or
more.
In 1968, $334 would be
withheld. The amount would
jump to $364 in 1969; $395 in
1970; $429 in 1973; and $448 in
1987.
President Johnson wants even
larger increases in the amount
withheld.
While Johnson has varied the
practice slightly, presidents and
Congress like to increase
benefits with an election ap-
proaching. Elderly Americans
have responded by becoming
more active as a voting bloc.
Past increases have had
relatively little impact on
paychecks. But providing hospi-
tal and medical care for 19
million older Americans has
increased the bit.
The other aspect is what the
administration calls inadequate
benefits for the elderly. It would
appear impossible for a person
to survive on the $50-a-month
minimum provided by the
House bill or to make ends
meet in a big city on the $212
maximum. (Currently, the aver-
age monthly benefit to the
retired worker is $84).
So the Johnson administration
is becoming torn between
providing adequate benefits and
taking more and more from the
voters’ weekly paychecks.
Wall Street Chatter
NEW YORK (UPI)- Horn-
blower & Weeks - Hemphill,
Noyes says it expects the
various technical indicators to
move into favorable territory
before long, and if they do, it
feels the Dow Jones industrial
average may advance toward
the 940 level. It suggests that
investors use the present time
to upgrade their equity hold-
ings.
Alexander Hamilton Institute
Inc. says a continuation of the
lessening demand in the stock
market after Labor Day would
be a "clear warning signal
which should not go unheeded."
The analyst says it believes the
market should stage at least a
technical rally in the next few
sessions or else the bright
outlook for the rest of 1967 will
be tarnished.
C.B. Richard Ellis & Co. says
certain high flyers are in an
over-sold condition and seem
ready for strong rallies. Re-
garding the stronger issues in
this group, the company says it
anticipates the possibility of
new highs “in the very near
future."

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 6,
the 249th day of 1967 with 116 to
follow.
The moon is between its new
phase and first quarter.
The morning stars are Jupiter
and Saturn.
The evening star is Mars.
Born on this day in 1860 was
American social worker Jane
Adams.
On this day in history:
In 1620,149 pilgrims set sail
from England for the New
World.
In 1901, President McKinley
was shot and critically wounded
in Buffalo, New York. He died
on Sept. 14.
In 1909, word was received
that Admiral Robert Peary had
discovered the North Pole five
months earlier...April 6.
In 1966, Premier Henrfch
Verwoerd of South Africa was
assassinated.
A thought for the day—
E rench philosopher Blaise Pas-
cal once said: "We know the
truth, not only by the reason,
but by the heart."
Though swimmers literally
cannot sink in the Great Salt
Lake they risk choking in the
extremely salty water.
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The
Americans for Constitutional
Action has reached the same
conclusion President Johnson
arrived at months ago— the 90th
Congress is more conservative
than the 89th.
The ACA Tuesday gave the
current House a rating of 48.4
on the conservative scale. Last
year, the conservative group
gave the House only a 43.8 and
the year before, its average was
38.9.
The Senate is also more
conservative this year, accord-
ing to ACA calculations. The
group gave the 1967 Senate a
rating of 45.2, compared to 41.6
last year and 38.4 in 1965.
From the ACA point of view,
the new House members were a
big improvement over the
members of the 89th Congress
they replaced. Johnson, whose
programs have been dealt one
setback after another by the
new Congress, could scarcely be
expected to agree.
The ACA gave the 74
freshman congressmen an aver-
age rating of 69.72, compared to
an average of only 25.63 for
their predecessors in the 89th
Congress. The ACA considers a
rating of 100 perfect.
The biggest surprises in the
ACA ratings were the high
conservative scores given Sena-
tors Edward W, Brooke, R-
Mass., and Mark O. Hatfield, R-
Ore.
The two freshman senators
came to Congress with the
reputation of being new-breed
Republican liberals. But the
ACA gave Brooke a high
conservative rating of 89 and
Hatfield an even higher rating
of 93.
Brooke’s rating may have
come as something of a shock
to the liberal Americans for
Democratic Action, who en-
dorsed him in his 1966 Senate
race against a liberal Demo-
crat.
Charles A. McManus, ACA
executive director, said the
conservative trend indicated by
the ratings appears to "reflect
the massive expression of the
American electorate’s anger
and apprehension concerning
many domestic and internation-
al issues
Jet Crash
GANDER, Nfld. (UP|>- A
Czechoslovakian airliner that
crashed Tuesday killing 34
persons plunged to earth so
quickly the pilot apparently
never had a chance to report
any trouble.
A control tower operator said
today he had only routine
takeoff communications with
the pilot of the Soviet-built
Ilyushin 18 before the giant
airliner crashed and exploded,
scattering wreckage over a half-
mile area.
"I saw him go. He made a
routine communication with the
tower after liftoff and I saw the
flash," said the control officer.
"It was just like looking into a
black screen out there."
The plane carried 61 passen-
gers and eight crewmen. Thirty-
five persons survived,, many
with critical burns.
Thirty-two persons were killed
instantly in the crash of the
four-engine turboprop and two
died from severe burns at
James Panton Hospital here.
Witnesses said the plane was
about 1,000 feet in the air when
it plunged to the ground less
than a mile from the airport
and two miles from this
Atlantic Coast community of
7,500._
